High scoring QPR favorites from Winebow with Bill Hajjar

Please stop by Saturday 1-4, the ever charming Bill is back to show some awesome selections from his portfolio including the “red hot” 2021 Alberdi! 

2022 Argyle, Willamette Valley Brut  — $25.99
Oregon's answer to Champagne, made using traditional méthode champenoise from one of the Willamette Valley's most respected sparkling producers. Easygoing and food-friendly, with apple, cherry blossom, and a spiced cinnamon note that lingers. A great opener to get the palate warmed up.

2023 L'Ecole No. 41, Luminesce Estate White Blend   — $26.99
A Walla Walla classic, 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon from the Seven Hills Vineyard, a nod to the great white Bordeaux blends of Pessac-Léognan but grown in Washington State. Peach, nectarine, beeswax, and tropical florals, with real concentration and length for the price.

2021 La Rioja Alta, Viña Alberdi Reserva "Selección Especial"  — $24.99
A genuinely special bottling, only the second vintage in the wine's history (after 2001) to earn the "Selección Especial" designation. Classical, clean Tempranillo with terrific balance and freshness. The critic himself called it the finest Alberdi he can remember.

2021 Badia a Coltibuono, Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG  — $36.99
An organic, historic Tuscan estate built around an actual medieval abbey. Sangiovese-led with Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, and Colorino, showing dark fruit, licorice, spice, and real vertical precision, a genuine step up in intensity for the vintage.

2023 Pine Ridge Vineyards, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 — $47.99
The big finish. A polished, accessible Napa Cabernet drawing fruit from Stags Leap, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, and Carneros. Blueberry, blackcurrant, and violet aromatics, with a licorice and bitter chocolate finish.
